Sometimes I amaze even myself. (Erich Segal)
We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the eclat of a proverb. View quote
Jane Austen
The potential for self-loathing comes from the unavoidable problem that one is engaging in a childish, fraudulent activity: although it has the capacity to delight and amaze, the performer is also a hair's breadth from being justifiably treated like a silly child. It is, after all, just tricks. View quote
Derren Brown
Look, it was an accident. Five thousand accidents happen every day -- bizarre, tragic, farcical... they're Acts of God fit only to amaze the survivors and irritate the Insurance Company... View quote
Peter Greenaway
When I look at a work of Art I ask myself: does it inspire me, does it touch and move me, do I learn something from it, does it startle or amaze me - do I get excited, upset? That is the test any artwork has to pass: can it create an emotional impact on a human being even when he has no education or any information about art? I've always had a problem with art that you can only understand if you have a degree in art history, and I have a problem with theories. Most of them are bullshit anyway. Most critics and theorists have little respect for artists, and I think the importance of theory in art is totally overrated. Real art is self-evident. Real art is intense, enchanting, exciting and unsettling; it has a quality and magic that you cannot explain. Art is not logic, and if you want to experience it, your mind and rational thinking will be of little help. Art is something spiritual that you can only experience with your senses, your heart, your soul. View quote
Gottfried Helnwein
I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze and inspire their listeners. View quote
Hayao Miyazaki
That a woman is presented as a teacher, as a prototype of piety, cannot amaze anyone who knows that piety or godliness is fundamentally womanliness. ... from a woman you learn concern for the one thing needful, from Mary, sister of Lazarus, who sat silent at Christ's feet with her heart's choice: the one thing needful. P. 149. View quote
Søren Kierkegaard
We hate poetry that has a palpable design upon us - and if we do not agree, seems to put its hand in its breeches pocket. Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle or amaze with itself, but with its subject. View quote
John Keats
It's TV shows like BUFFY and ANGEL that usually have an incredible cliffhanger every commercial break that amaze me. View quote
Brian K. Vaughan

Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor walking the planet right now. He never ceases to amaze me. (Les Claypool)

David Wenham
I transcend earthly bounds. I never cease to amaze myself because I haven't yet found my limits. I am quite ready to accept the limits of what I can do, but every time I feel that way - boom! - God touches me and I do something that's even more stupendous than whatever I've done up to then. View quote
Don King
Your ability to remain alive never ceases to amaze me. View quote
Ilona Andrews
They amaze me most of those remixes. Some of them are crap. But every time I complain, someone comes up and says they are for a different market that you don't understand. Some of the New Order ones are really great, though. View quote
Peter Hook
It never ceases to amaze me that I get to do this for a living. View quote
Richard Marx
I consider those actors who amaze me are somehow less attractive to me than those actors who move me. View quote
Robert Lansing
So much to learn! Old Nature's ways Of glee and gloom with rapt amaze To study, probe, and paint – brown earth, Salt sea, blue heavens, their tilth and dearth, Birds, grasses, trees – the natural things That throb or grope or poise on wings. View quote
Richard Francis Burton
Their stupidity does not amaze me, its when they're smart that amazes me. View quote
Frank Zappa
Dear Miss Glory, we've already had at least a hundred saviors and prophets here. Every boat brings another one. Missionaries, anarchists, the Salvation Army, everything imaginable. It would amaze you to know how many churches and lunatics there are in the world. View quote
Karel Čapek
I've found a place that would amaze you. People used to live there, but now it's all overgrown and no one goes there. Absolutely no one - only me... Just a little house and a garden. And two dogs. If you could see how they licked my hands, and their puppies - oh, Primus, there's probably nothing more beautiful! You take them on your lap and cuddle them, and just sit there until sundown not thinking about anything and not worrying about anything. Then when you get up you feel as though you've done a hundred times more than a lot of work. Really, I'm not good for much of anything. Everyone says I'm not cut out for any kind of work. I don't know what I'm good for. (Karel Čapek)
Such labour'd Nothings, in so strange a Style, Amaze th'unlearn'd, and make the Learned Smile. View quote

Jonathan Ive
The best subjects are always people, who never fail to amaze me by their unpredictability. View quote
Ronnie James Dio
It takes the whole life to learn how to live, and -- what will perhaps amaze you more -- it takes the whole of life to learn how to die. View quote
Seneca
